"Hmph!"
After listening to Xie Chenkun's words, Mu Jinyu felt a surge of anger!
Because his mind was immersed in the "Killing Character Secret Technique" and he hadn't woken up yet, someone in the Heavenly Sword Faction deemed him worthless, even considering throwing him to the Blood Sword Sect to appease their anger.
This chilled his heart and terrified him.
If it weren't for Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan taking him away from his residence and holding on until the end, allowing him to fully comprehend the "Killing Character Secret Technique," he would have been in great trouble.
Fortunately, the Great Elder and the Sect Leader didn't make that decision and didn't hand him over. Otherwise, with Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan's strength, no matter how hard they tried, they wouldn't be able to stop their decision.
When the Blood Sword Sect came for him, he hadn't yet snapped out of the profundity of the "Killing Character Secret Technique." Had he been killed by Zhou Yun then, he wouldn't even have been able to call it an injustice, would he?
In Mu Jinyu's cold eyes, a fiery flame ignited, filled with killing intent as he looked at Elder Wu Dayong, who was so frightened he couldn't speak.
Compared to the grudge of the Blood Sword Sect attacking the Heavenly Sword Faction over interests, Mu Jinyu loathed Wu Dayong's internal scheming even more.
He didn't think much of the former, as they already had mutual animosity and would naturally fight to the death if given the chance. The latter, however, he found disgusting. What's the point of in-fighting?
"Hmph!"
With another cold snort, Wu Dayong, trembling like a sieve, didn't even get a chance to grunt before exploding into countless bloody pieces.
Splashing blood and flesh over everyone present from the Heavenly Sword Faction.
Xie Chenkun wiped the blood off his face without saying a word, with a sense of tragic pride, indicating to Mu Jinyu that he could act at any time.
But Mu Jinyu said calmly, "Let's end this matter here. If such a thing happens again, I will kill the people involved and leave the Heavenly Sword Faction!"
"You're not going to kill me?"
Xie Chenkun paused in surprise at Mu Jinyu's words and couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jinyu said, "Sect Leader, you haven't done anything wrong. Why would I kill you? The culprit has been punished, so let's not bring this up again."
Of course, he couldn't kill Xie Chenkun.
Not to mention that Xie Chenkun never betrayed him, even if he actually did, Mu Jinyu might still find it hard to bring himself to kill him.
Instead, he would break ties with them and leave the Heavenly Sword Faction.
After all, to Mu Jinyu, Xie Chenkun had always shown him kindness.
Whether it was when he unintentionally leaked the Fine Elixirs and Xie Chenkun suppressed the matter, or later when he broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm and lacked Spirit Stones, Xie Chenkun voluntarily helped him with more than a hundred Top-Quality Spirit Stones.
And during the Four Sects Martial Meeting, after winning a month of cultivation time in the Blood Essence Pool, which he could have kept for himself, he resolutely gave it to Mu Jinyu. Without that opportunity, Mu Jinyu would never have reached the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm.
With such debts of gratitude, let alone Xie Chenkun not having betrayed him, even if he had, it would be difficult for Mu Jinyu to harden his heart to kill him in revenge.
Unless Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan were involved and died!
Only then would he be ruthless, settling accounts with all those involved, one by one!
Hurriedly, Mu Jinyu healed Xie Yuan's Dantian injury but didn't take the time to treat his other wounds, throwing some Elixirs aside, saying, "These Healing Medicines can temporarily ease your injuries; I'll be back soon."
After speaking, he soared into the sky, flying towards Tianlan Peak.
Upon suspecting that Ji Li might be in trouble while trying to save him, Mu Jinyu could no longer stay calm and treat their injuries. Of course, he had to first check on Ji Li's condition.
Soon, Mu Jinyu reached the residence on Tianlan Peak, ahead of Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.
At a glance, he saw Ji Li lying in a pool of blood.
At this moment, Ji Li's face was ashen, drained of blood, like a small white flower beaten by a storm, her life force extremely weak.
If no one attended to her, she probably wouldn't last another hour before disappearing completely.
Seeing Ji Li in such a state, Mu Jinyu felt a pang of heartache, imagining Ji Li fighting desperately to block Li Daochen.
And when he regained consciousness, he wasn't aware of her situation, even neglecting her while he took the time to treat Xie Yuan's Dantian after killing Li Daochen, Zhou Yun, and the Blood Sword Sect's high ranks.
If it weren't for Wen Rou and the others' conversation catching his attention, he might not even have realized that Ji Li was already on the brink of death.
"Phew..."
Mu Jinyu exhaled deeply, suppressing his inner frustration, descended from the sky, quickly approached Ji Li, placed a hand on her back, and began using Profound Skill, with Life Source Energy flowing out, to treat Ji Li.
A few minutes later.
Only at the Fourth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou finally arrived at Tianlan Peak. Seeing Mu Jinyu treating Ji Li, they paused for a moment, then showed a look of relief.
They knew full well that Xie Yuan and the others' injuries couldn't be healed in just a few minutes.
It was clear that Mu Jinyu must have realized Ji Li could be in trouble and, setting aside Xie Yuan and others, came to save Ji Li first.
Under Mu Jinyu's Life Source Energy treatment, Ji Li's complexion visibly improved, no longer as pale, but more rosy.
Mu Jinyu realized from the sound behind him that Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou had arrived, but he remained focused on treating Ji Li without distraction.
Soon, with a soft moan from Ji Li, her slender, dense eyelashes fluttered a few times as she opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she looked a bit confused at first, then remembered something, instantly showing a look of urgency.
At this moment, Ji Li struggled to sit up to chase Li Daochen, only to look up and see Mu Jinyu.
"Young Master, you're awake?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu awake, Ji Li let out a long sigh of relief, the urgency in her eyes fading away.
She knew that once Mu Jinyu awoke, Li Daochen, who had easily defeated her, would surely have a hard time against Mu Jinyu, and might already be dead.
"Hmm." Mu Jinyu responded, with a hint of remorse in his tone, "Sorry, I came late. You've suffered."
"Young Master, I'm fine, as long as you're okay..." Ji Li looked up at Mu Jinyu, showing a sweet smile.
Mu Jinyu didn't know what to say, feeling complicated emotions, then turned to ask Jian Ruyan, "What happened earlier when Li Daochen chased you?"
He still had some doubts about Xie Chenkun's words, so he wanted to ask Wen Rou and the others again.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's inquiry, Jian Ruyan undoubtedly didn't hold back anything.
Jian Ruyan recounted how, after Mu Jinyu's consciousness submerged, Xie Chenkun sent him back to his residence for them to care for. A day later, when the Blood Sword Sect attacked, they sensed something was wrong and wanted to take him away but were blocked by Li Daochen.
"In that case, Xie Chenkun probably didn't lie, but you know too little; you don't know if Xie Chenkun was involved. Forget it; I'll do a soul search to see."
Mu Jinyu frowned, saying, then opened his right hand, and in his palm appeared a phantom figure.
Upon a closer look, you could tell it was Wu Dayong, whom he had just blasted into a pulp!
